Review by Arran

Nose

The nose is fresh and vibrant; a delightful combination of classic dried fruits, vanilla essence, along with spiced-wood aromas. A touch of butterscotch and orange zest with light peat in the background.

Palate

Palate is dominated by warm and rich sherry sweetness, prunes and apricots primarily, with hints of European oak, nutmeg, white pepper and muscovado sugar. Over time, a subtle touch of tobacco leaf and green tea emerges.

Finish

Lingering sweet and spicy notes with a delicate smoky twist towards the end.

Note

The Devil’s Punch Bowl is a limited edition expression of The Arran Single Malt inspired by the glacial hollow Coire na Ciche whose sinister presence dominates the north-east coast of Arran. Our Master Distiller, James ‘Lucifer’ MacTaggart, has been to hell and back to select only the finest casks for this demonic masterpiece. Each cask has been chosen to contribute a specific characteristic and through the dark art of blending these whiskies have conspired to create an elixir of exceptional complexity and finesse.

Bottled at natural strength and without chill-filtration, The Devil’s Punch Bowl is a testimony to the consistent superior quality of The Arran Malt across each year of production. For your elucidation the numbers of every cask, hand-picked for this bottling, have been listed on the inside of this box. Dare to meet the devil and savour the astonishing array of aromas and flavours on display.
